Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

There are some important issues must be addressed by the authors.

1- The novelty is fair. The idea of duty cycle is not a new approach. The authors should explain.

2- The authors should use more mathematical equations to explain and prove their proposed method. It is obvious that just two equations are not enough at all. What is the relation between duty cycle and resolution? The authors must prove that using mathematical equation.

3- Is it possible to generalize this approach for single or five phase stepper motors? As the aim of the paper is about two phase excitation stepper motors, it should be added in the title.

4- The organization of the paper should be added at the end of introduction.

5- What is PWM abbreviation for in page 1? Pulse Width Modulation or Pulse Wave Modulation?

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper is well written and the results appear to be supporting the author's claim. The reviewer has the following concerns.

Last sentence of paragraph 1 section 2 states that “The interval between each tooth on the N pole is 7.2o, and the interval between each tooth on the S pole is 3.6o”. If both the rotors have 50 teeth in 360o, why the interval between the two teeth of the two rotors are different?

The circuit used to generate the PWM signal and couple it with the stepping motor is discussed but a graphicalrepresentation is necessary. 

It is claimed in the introduction section that smaller step angle i.e 0.1 degree is achived (which was initially 10 degree) while mainitaing the constant torque of the two phases. How the experimental results show that the torque of the two phases remains constant??
